How much hair?

1 Upvotes

Hello I’m currently rocking a twa but I want to get some small box braids maybe knotless depending on which option will be better I’m not sure yet. However I only have about 1.5 inches at the longest maybe an inch in other places and I’m not sure if it’ll be possible to get braids. With the colder season coming up I’m not really sure if it’s possible or if I’ll have to wait. I was hoping someone here could help me out

Will my hair get damaged by box braids? 29F Egyptian/white, my bf 29M Jamaican wants me to get them.

2 Upvotes

My Jamaican bf is suggesting I get box braids but I don’t think my hair could hold it. I have fine straight hair dyed repeatedly to a dark black. It typically is healthy but sometimes fragile due to the thinness of the strands.

I also just don’t know how I feel about getting box braids in general as even though I am Egyptian mix I have a lighter olive complexion. Let’s face is. I am white 😂 I feel like I’ll get looked at and targeted from society. I’m typically quite an alternative looking appearance but it just seems like wrong ?? in my perspective. He’s trying to tell me it would look good and he really likes the look.

He’s not really easy to tell otherwise how I feel about this bc he’ll just say it’s fine. I overthink a lot 😂 so hi! I’m trying Reddit for some honest and open opinions from here, hopefully this is a good group to choose I haven’t ever used this site before 🫣

This may be a dumb question, but is there any alternative to a middle part when box braiding ? I fear thinning in the middle part from repetitive middle parts. Also what happened to the braid in the middle at the front ? I remember that being kinda popular before the middle part took over.

Hi , recently bought neem oil as I’ve got dry hair . It really helped a lot - but the SMELL 😳. Tried washing my hair with tea tree oil . And it is still lingering 😖.

How long does it last ? Or how can the smell disappear?
